" I pay a personal tribute to President Thomas Spencer Monson. I have been blessed by an association with this man for 47 years now, and the image of him I will cherish until I die is of him flying home from then–economically devastated East Germany in his house slippers because he had given away not only his second suit and his extra shirts but the very shoes from off his feet. “How beautiful upon the mountains [and shuffling through an airline terminal] are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace.” More than any man I know, President Monson has “done all he could” for the widow and the fatherless, the poor and the oppressed."

Are we not all beggars??
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Beggars with a stipend and free housing.

Not to mention a virtually unlimited expense account.

No doubt he had it all replaced within a day or two. Some beggar.

Done all that he could? I think not.

Wow! The Superstar dodo has blessed us with the drippings of his tongue! Are we not all beggars? What d'ya think he has in mind? To bring all the beggars in from the cold? Are we now to both campaign against flightless Australasian birds and to campaign in favour of beggars? What a story! What a guy!

Did Monson die?

No--he's not dead. Jeff is "paying tribute" the way all roman citizens had to pay tribute to the emperor.

Not yet. But he's 88.

How could you tell?


(Thanx, Dorothy Parker!)

Giving away your shoes only to have them replaced later is not "true" charity, giving away your only pair of shoes is.

probably Tom McCann Shoes and he wanted Florsheim Wingtips..

no big loss.. I was going to chuck'em anyway

I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a baby who had no feet.

-- Oswaldo Guayasamin

I cried because I had no shirt until I met a man who had no torso.

I cried because I had no smarts, and then I met a GA with no
intellectual integrity.

Yes what a sacrifice he made. He gave away his effing shoes and an effing suit. Its not that he has a bunch of them, paid by the money he got (ill-gotten with false promises) from faithful saints. He could've easily buy suits and shoes for the whole eastern Germany congregation in the Inter-Shop from the money that really poor people had blown in his A$$.
Are we not all beggars? Have these octogenarians ever felt hunger? Or didn't know how to pay a home, electricity, gas since they sit in their Club of Liars? (I doubt that they ever had any of these struggles in their lives at all)
It's BS like this that makes me fuming and mad.
Dear Mr. Holland it's time to follow the rest of the dodo population for you and your country club of liars.

It's enough to gag a maggot.

Beggars? Perhaps. More likely he just got up late and was rushing to the airport. Let me get this straight though, he just happened to have his slippers available upon seeing a poor beggar. Gotta love Mormon anecdotes - completely unverifiable, ridiculous, and brown-nosing.

Beggars profit

His feet had swollen so badly from his poor health that he couldn't get his feet into his shoes so he had to use slippers.

Coincidentally I recently had a revelation about Jeffrey R. Holland.

Which reminds me, I really need to visit my dermatologist and have it removed before it spreads.

It's easy to perform magic tricks for the blind.

People from virtually every corner of the Earth.

A good movie, Anthony Quinn and so forth.

What is the context/date of this quote?

I don't believe Monson gave away anything.
probably just another dishonest faith promoting story.

They lie so much, I have serious doubts this story is true, or if it is it's heavily embellished.

Holland turned old shoes into facebook likes.
